Connection and Companionship

Ainsley Darvell from Flying Kites - Mangere

🌼Do you want a part time job with a meaningful impact?
🌼Are you a calm, organised and friendly person?
🌼Would you like to work 5-15 hours per week in Botany

Our ideal candidate would be someone kind, engaging and sensible. We are looking for someone to support a quiet and peaceful 22 year old woman with an intellectual disability. She needs someone to help her in the afternoons. This role is a beautiful balance between practical and relationship focused.

This young lady needs help with practical tasks like showering and getting dressed, but she also needs someone to spend her afternoons with. Things like helping around the house and chatting about the day, having some fun, while building a trusting relationship. On a Monday she is looking for an activity buddy, to head to the library, dance class or to do some baking.

This role is Monday 10am – 3pm and Tuesday to Friday from 4pm – 5.30pm in Botany, with some flexibility for the right person. These hours could be all done by one person or shared by two. There may be some hours on a Saturday as well if you want them.

If you are interested please get in touch, we would love to chat to you about the opportunity: email jobs@flyingkites.org.nz or send me a message

Flying Kites helps people with disabilities find amazing people to support them to live their lives and achieve their dreams. #FlyingkitesNZ

Nature really knows how to bounce back! 🍁✨

🌺💚 Gave my parents a tour of the STIHL hedge trimmers while showing off the beautiful Camellia! Revisited the Japanese maple last Friday and was thrilled to see it thriving—those new leaves are so lush and vibrant after the winter pruning.
